We show theoretically that limited resolutions cause a deviation from the Johnson-Nyquist relation. This is demonstrated by examining electronic transport of a resonant level model. We also find that the deviation is described by a universal single-parameter scaling: The deviation prominent at low temperatures or for low-conductance systems disappears exponentially at high temperatures/conductance through an intermediate algebraic decrease, which invalidates a naive account of the resolution effects. Our findings offer an explanation for experimental puzzles in Johnson noise thermometry.
